@@vato6815 this comment seems rough, but I think i know what it is about. There is a good chance that the kids of a bipolar or any other mental illness can get that same illness too and if you are mentally ill or have problems you may have problems caring for those kids and them having the same problems would be really bad. I am also bipolar plus all other things that come with it the hard part is actually some years back. I never want to have kids and risk to spread my bad genes and cause trouble

[@JadeVic]

Yep, I'd been an all A student got diagnosed, and failed 11th grade missed a ton school. Now Im in 12th grade trying to clean up my manic mess. Very fortunate to have learned about my illness now though rather than as an adult.

[@JadeVic]

@@thagodwecreate5179 That is neither of your guy's fault. My fathers bipolar put me through years of trauma, along with me being diagnosed myself. I recognize that it is an illness and there is no-one to blame. You are not a menace, just someone who suffers from a brain disorder that is strong enough to overcome the challenges. Wanting to have a kid while suffering a genetic chronic illness is not a crime, it is natural to want kin of your own. Just be prepared to help them get through the challenges they may face.

@dakota haro I hear what your saying but we all do some type of drug whether legal or illegal so we can use that argument. Also, people like this really go through things that we don’t know about and sometimes they just need to talk about it. We all see homeless people and for a lot of us, we treat them as less than. We are all human beings and we must also remember that none of us are immune to the trials and tribulations of life. We all fall down but we can get up, even if it’s hard.

[@kaptain4054]

@dakota haro well I don’t smoke or drink either but the drugs I’m referring to are prescription drugs, which are just as deadly. Now if you don’t take any of those things(even aspirin) that’s a great thing for you but for anyone who does including myself, they also rob you of your true emotions. My take on this situation is as I’ve said before, we are all human beings and no matter what our status is to another, there’s no reason for us to have our brothers and sisters down. We can tell people what to do with any opportunity but just give him an opportunity as Mark Cuban did

I met Mark Cuban back in 2001. He kept a helicopter out at the Addison airport. I was working in aviation maintenance back then. He would see us working and come up and talk to us. He treated us the same as anyone else. He didn't let his ego get the best of him. One day, it was cold outside and he had to open the hangar doors to get his helicopter out. He bought us all donuts because he felt bad for having to let the heat out of the hangar. He's done some things recently that has aggravated me a little bit, but I still think Mark Cuban is a great guy with a big heart....

@@noradrenaline2714 you’re making assumptions.

Most people start using drugs in social situations…parties, clubs, etc. They don’t tend to lean on drugs & toxic behavior as a crutch until after they are physically/mentally addicted. Think logically. How many people who have never once done drugs go through a bad situation and think, “I need narcotics.”!?!? How does a person who’s never done heroin know where to even look?…how much to take without killing them selves?…how to actually administer said narcotics?…how? It’s obvious you’re not an addict. I hope you never ever know the shame, guilt, self-hate, suicidal tendencies, etc….but that’s just not how things work in reality. Addicts are generally already versed in this lifestyle and using substances before they even have the opportunity to use said narcotics as a crutch.
